      Abortion Swells Obama's Woes With Catholics

      (Newser) - Democrats are making a major push for Catholic voters, a demographic that decisively chose George W. Bush over the Catholic John Kerry in 2004.

Even so, the New York Times reports, getting Catholics to vote Barack Obama may be difficult. More »

      Anti-Abortion Allies Give Pro-Choice Obama an Edge

      (Newser) - For a man once labeled “the most pro-abortion candidate ever,” Barack Obama has enjoyed a lift among social conservatives with support from Bob Casey and Tim Roemer—even if the fit is imperfect, the Washington Post reports.

The DNC chairman said Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would rather focus on the final primaries, which will end on June 3, the AP reports.

      Casey Nod Perfectly Timed, Placed

      (Newser) - The endorsement of Sen. Bob Casey will give Barack Obama aid right where he needs it, Shailagh Murray notes in the Washington Post —among Pennsylvania’s lower-income white men.

      Pa. Senator to Endorse Obama

      (Newser) - Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey will endorse Barack Obama today, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, in what could be big break for the presidential hopeful who's been trailing Hillary Clinton in polls there. Not only can Casey help Obama with Keystone State Democrats, says Politico’s Ben Smith, but his endorsement could signal a superdelegate surge to Obama. Casey had vowed to stay neutral until after the April 22 primary. More »
